They are poisonous.
According to folklore they are used to encourage Courage. They are used in love spells.

Red Riding Hood Movie Trailer & Wolfsbane

The Movie I'd like to see. I'm not sure if Red Riding Hood is using Wolfsbane but she might need too!
Wolfsbane(Aconitum) is a poisonous perennial. Wolfsbane comes in: white, yellow, pink, blue and purple. Folklore says Wolfbane can repel Werewolves or can turn you into one. Sacred to the Goddess Hekate and said to be used in flying ointments in the middle ages.
" Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, An' the Werewolf howls by the dread Wolfsbane" from the Wiccan Rede.
"Even those who are pure of heart, and say their prayers at night, can become a wolf, when the Wolfsbane blooms and the Autumn Moon is bright" a poem used in the Werewolf movie for Lon Chaney Jr.
In popular folklore and movies about Werewolves and Witches, Wolfsbane sometimes has a staring role.

Winter Aconite

Eranthis(Winter Aconite) is a member of the buttercup family. All parts of the plant are poisonous. Mine just showed up I didn't plant them. They are the first blooms I have here. I welcome them and the deer leave them alone! According to Greek myth Winter Aconite was thought of as the saliva of Cerberus. Cerberus is the three-headed dog that guards the underworld. He made a trip upstairs and where his saliva hit the ground up sprang Winter Aconite.
